Scouting Report
Very tough and always fought for the ball. Could beat the jam in a hurry at the line and was excellent on crossing routes and when exploiting short zones. Was one of the best blockers in the business. A clutch, big-game player. Was never much of an explosive deep threat and was somewhat undersized for a classic possession role. Would occasionally drops some easy catches when the game wasn't on the line. Had a bit of off-field trouble.
Long Range Potential: Pro Bowl wideout.
